Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The pages of this book bring alive to the reader how the continent of Africa has been ripped apart over the past 100 years by ethnic violence due to the politicization of ethnicity and ethnic group dominance over the individual. The author, drawing on the thoughts of Danish philosopher, Søren Kierkegaard, proposes a path toward a peaceful solution through the process of education, where individuals can rise above blind loyalties to the faceless group and begin to take responsibility within and for their communities. This work demonstrates how a practical and achievable solution to societal ills can arise out of a sound philosophical framework.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The one who separates from his membranes by fine learning, and breaking their selfish intentions will separate itself from different mistakes, of mistaking, wrongdoing, and will have insight to how the Earth and the Sky have disassembled, each performing its role, at the same time converging towards Being such as a pupil of the eye approaches whites. Only two tiny eyelids are sufficient to cover the widest horizon we look at in the summer evenings when it seems we see the furthest. Even if the whole world fits in our pupils, in the pupil of the eyes, just two tiny skin eyelids could cover it and we see nothing but the darkness until we raise them again. Such a simple but such a miraculous lesion is given by this example.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Connective tissue diseases (CTDs) are a group of chronic multiorgan diseases with an underlying autoimmune pathogenesis, characterized by variable involvement of structural components of connective tissues. Indeed, skin signs often represent the preliminary stages of disease and the presenting clinical symptoms. The present approach becomes essential for a good practice in the fields of dermatology and rheumatology for the reason that CTDs - ranging from the commonest forms to the rarest ¿ constitute medical challenges and dilemmas from the establishment of an accurate diagnosis to the implementation of an efficient management plan, passing through the negative impact these conditions can cause to the patients and their quality of life. In the light of evidence-based practice, recommendations for individual assessment and relevant nuances to the differential diagnosis are critically appraised in order to improve diagnosis accuracy and consequently the treatment success. The content of this book is organised in 8 chapters, which include lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, dermatomyositis, Sjögren syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis and cutaneous vasculitis in the setting of CTDs.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Social Management is an original Brazilian concept that, among other aspirations, aims to broaden the participation and popular engagement in the decisions that influence the lives of everybody. This field of knowledge envisages building a new public sphere that aims to bring people and politics together in a way that they can debate and generate collective decisions about the needs and future of the community. Iceland's popular constitution is an innovative process that brings new possibilities for the development of democracy. The Icelandic government recently, between 2009 and 2013, led the process of creating the first crowd-sourced constitution of the world. Historically, the process of drafting a constitution never included direct popular participation. This work aims to strengthen this perspective from the practical experience of the process of drafting the Constitution of Iceland. The analysis of this process enables the approximation between Social Management and Icelandic Crowdsourced Constitution process and as well to present Social Management as an alternative capable of ensuring participation and emancipation.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The Indian Government policies on development and growth of pharmaceutical industry have registered a sea change during the long period of 72 years from Indiäs independence in 1947 to 2019. The establishment of the public sector undertakings (PSUs) at the beginning was to reduce dependence of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) on the multinational companies (MNCs). The policies framed in late 1960s and early 1970s were built in difficult economic situation and experience of wars and the observations that multinational companies (MNCs) interested in trade in India were not ready to invest in APIs infrastructure unless compelled to. Indian industrial laws for manufacture and trade, abatement of monopoly, control of foreign exchange outflow as also protection of intellectual property rights on inventions were framed and modified to encourage manufacturing of bulk drugs and formulations locally with the primary aim of import-substitution; the indigenous industry was 'protected' for a long period up to 1991 by administering 'cost-plus' prices on selected bulk drugs and formulations made there from; their imports were regulated by levying heavy import duties.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Functionally-graded materials (FGM), are those materials in which some specific physical properties change gradually with respect to material dimensions. FGM have recently been widely used.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Burns appeared when humans contacted with and knew how to use fire. Initially burns are caused by dry heat when exposing fire. Burns caused by wet heat occurred when people knew cooking. These are two major types of burns from the past to the present. Burn injury is often seen in labor, manufacturing as well as in daily life and is one of the public health problem worldwide that must be paid attention to due to the burden of diseases, injuries after burn affecting the quality of patient¿s life. It is estimated that every year about 300,000 people die from firerelated burns worldwide, of which about 30% are those under 20 years old. Global Burden of Disease project by the World Health Organization showed that burn is an important factor contributing to the total number of casualties due to illness among children in countries with low and moderate income in the regions of Africa, Southeast Asia and the eastern mediterranean.However, studies of burns in mountainous areas are very limited and do not mention completely and systematically.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The present pages are the expression of author's revolt against the widespread upsurge of non-humanism or anti-humanism in our time. At the same time, they signal his dissatisfaction with a traditional conception where ¿humanism¿ is treated as an existing property or privilege, basically the privilege of a dominant elite or ruling class of the people. In opposition to this proprietary and empiricist legacy, these pages vindicate and retrieve the notion of humanism as a challenge or open-ended search, a challenge which opens up fixed self-conceptions to novel dimension of meaning, especially dimensions of ¿otherness. ¿ Under the title ¿Who Are We Now ¿, the first paper traces the emergence of this new conception against the backdrop of more traditional formulas. The second paper explores the connection of humanism with the academic pursuit of the ¿humanities¿ or liberal arts. Stressing the open-ended character of the new humanism, the third chapter raises the question of its relation to the dawning of a ¿post-secular¿ epoch. Returning to the ¿zetetic¿ character of the topic, the final paper explores what is involved in ¿Learning to be Human.¿Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Christian ethics is an important matter both in terms of thought and practice. Current academic moves and denominational Christian contributions have brought conflict resulting into the question of whether the Bible is the ultimate guideline to labour ethics or the church tradition. This book argues that, because Christian work ethics is based on God¿s work ethics, Christians must be committed to some authority of the Bible for doing any work. At the starting point, the authors have traced the origin of work to God himself. Then the examples of how the Christians have gone ahead to do their work following the standards set by God is stated. This can even be seen in traditional attitudes to work before the spread of the Christian religion to other parts of the world including the Tiv of central Nigeria. The argument here is that, the Christian work ethics only found a substratum on which it grew. All these have led to the moral sensitiveness of Christian unity based on Godly principles on the divine nature of work. This book is therefore a must read by all and sundry so that we can salvage the negative human conscience that is destroying the world, work and its ethics.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The present work deals with determiners in Siin Seereer, a language belonging to the West Atlantic branch of the Niger- Congo family. More specific research questions concern the uses, the places and functioning of this language¿s determiners.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The mystery of great Italian violins built in Cremona between 1620-1780 became a general question a long time ago. Many authors have written books and articles about the life and activity of Amati, Guarneri and Stradivari, about the unequalled violins until present time, violins that reach very high prices. The quality of wood, as much as the precise dimensions used by the Italian masters are known and have been reproduced in the last 250 years. One single thing has remained unknown, the prescription of the varnish, which has been maintained carefully, then gone with the death of the last Luther. The purpose of this book is trying to solve an ¿enigmä, both cultural and scientific, which has been investigated for over 250 years. Until present time, no one succeeded to show luthiers a procedure of how to build a violin with a sound spectrum almost similar to the sound spectrum of the human voice, for a prolonged time interval. In this book, we show a solution to this by indicating the use of the primer and we provide a series of experimental results that prove the validity of our research.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 124 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -First light signals for controlling traffic were operated manually by the police. The next types were operated on a ¿fixed-time¿ basis by purely mechanical devices. Later developments included linking up a number of local fixed-time controllers with a master controller. The latest and most popular types are the traffic lights that are operated by the passing vehicles themselves by using detectors placed in the roadway. Traffic blocking is a major fact that causes delay to emergency vehicles. To bar loss of human life due to accidents, Emergency Traffic Light (ETL) control system has been proposed. The main goal behind this system is to provide a smooth flow for emergency vehicles such as ambulances to reach their destinations in time and thus minimizing the delay caused by traffic jams.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The financial crimes have been increased during the last years. Middleton and Levi (2005) pointed out that laundering and embezzlement is a common phenomenon in the field of accounting and law resulting in the development of forensic accountancy. During the last 50 years, corporate criminal activities and criminal enterprises have become more sophisticated, better organized, and more complex. Writing this book, author's thought in mind was firstly to determine whether forensic accounting can assist Cyprus in solving a crime, identify a framework for establishing a forensic accountancy ¿profession¿ in Cyprus, and provide recommendations to the areas in which forensic accounting could be useful. This book identifies the significance of forensic accounting as a work-placed discipline in society, suggests that forensic accountants¿ techniques are crucial for combating financial crimes and corruption and recommends the introduction of specialist forensic accountants in police departments and the Attorney General Department. Finally, any framework with strong legislation and characteristics, such as the UK¿s and Australiäs should be adopted in Cyprus.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 120 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Among all the divisions, Sylhet scores the highest TFR (2.9 according to BDHS 2014) and the lowest CPR (47.8 according to BDHS 2014) which are even far more distant form the scores of other districts. And this trend seems to be unchanged in the previous BDHS reports. This study, however, devoted itself to identify the reasons of high TFR, contextual challenges and/or loopholes of different family planning programs in Sylhet through the lens of Reproductive Health and Rights and Religiosity, as Sylhet is being told to be a very conservative region, based on religiosity. This study, mainly through questionnaire survey, was conducted in a village named Kandla under Kanaighat Upazila in Sylhet. From the study, it has been found that women started receiving ANC and PNC from health professionals, the rate tends to get higher day by day but they are still reluctant to do the delivery outside home. And for this reluctance, definitely their religiosity is responsible that they take it as shame to outside in the time of delivery. Regarding family planning it can be said that people think using contraception as sin, mostly they are more rigid in case permanent methods.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The presented monography deals with the very interesting class of polymers ¿ aromatic polyesters. Polymers of this class are characterized by especially high heat- and thermal- stability. Often the melting points of these polymers are higher than their destruction points and makes their thermal processing into different items difficult. Their processing from the solutions of the polymers is mostly limited due to their limited solubility in the solvents. Therefore, the polymers that are simultaneously characterized by good solubility and high thermal stability have special practical importance in different fields of technologies. Such polymers are card type polymers in the macromolecules of which a carbon atom simultaneously belongs both to the main polymeric chain and in the structure of the substituted group. Such polymers appeared to have special properties good solubility and high thermal stability. The present monograph is dedicated to the synthesis and study of the norbornane type card group containing polymers.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 108 pp. Englisch.
